What's inside?

I hope you enjoy the cigar box as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for visiting my blog. I love comments, so don't be shy, leave a comment and inspire me to keep up with my art.

Cigar Box Transformation

Here is the lid and inside the lid. Quite a different from when it started out. Graphic 45 papers and the rest of the embellishments are from my stash.

Fragments from the Past Cigar Box

This is what I started with. I love old cigar boxes. I have several and thought it was time to start using them. Next you will see the finished product. Hope you like it. I hope my partner will like it as well.

Old blogger

Well I tried clicking on the option to get the old set up back, ahhh with no avail. I guess I will have to live with it. Thanks for visiting my blog and hanging with me. I try to do as much art as I can. Your comments are important to me. Thanks to those who are followers. I hope to never disappoint you.

hugs

I want my old blogger back. I can't even change the header or background anymore. I'm so frustrated with the whole thing.

Now for something totally different from the last project. It's a shadow box made from an old hard covered book, that I glued together. The edges were painted gold. The book is then covered with papers from Graphic 45. Features were layered for a 3-d look. Enjoy.

This book was fun to make. Enjoy the tour in my garden.

Continued journey through my garden book.

I have several things I want to show you today. First is the garden book for a swap I'm in. Every page is full of flowers. The book itself is in the shape of a house from Alpha Stamps. Used various papers, flowers, stickers and other embellishments.

Tussie Mussie for someone...

I took some printed paper, some pearls, old lace, an old brooch, feathers and some hot glue and this is what I came up with. Another swap finished and ready to be mailed. I hope you enjoy this one. It's been awhile since I posted.

St Patrick's Day

Happy St. Paddy's day to everyone even if you're not Irish. Enjoy the green.

more scarves

Here is another scarf using Frill Seekers yarn.

Altered BoxThe Year of the Dragon

I took a round gift box and cut Japanese made papers and covered the box. I painted the rim gold. I used images from Altered Pages. www.alteredpages.com I glued on some Chinese paper money and coins; flowers and a name plate. Once I got started it was fun to do. It's for a swap, so I hope my partner likes it.

Another curly scarf

I've finished 3 in the last day. They are all different. Here is one bright and cheery one. I believe the yarn is from Barnet or Bernet Yarns. Enjoy.

12x12 Steampunk Canvas

I love doing these types of pictures using canvas and wonderful papers from Graphic 45. I have so much paper that I am trying to use them up to make room for the new collections. The flowers are from stash. I love to use Glimmer Mist on them to make them whatever colour I need for the design. Lots of elements are added here and there. Enjoy

My cards are now in my card blog. Take a look and see more of what I've been up to.
I love comments, so please leave a comment and maybe even be a follower. Comments inspire me. Thanks for visiting.

Atcs I received in a swap

These atcs were from Michelle H. The theme was "I Dream In Colour". I love the composition and how Michelle interpreted the theme. The images are from Altered Pages. Thanks Michelle.

My charm bracelet and necklace

This is from a charm swap we did last year. I finally got the bracelet together and had enough charms for a necklace. This was a fun project.

I created this little mini for Valentine's Day. There are places for your photos and journaling on the tags inside the pockets. This mini is made with paper bags. Back ground papers are by Stampin'Up and the all the images are from Altered Pages. here.

A Valentine Mini book

Another scarf today

This one is using Red Heart Sashay in the colour Salsa. I love doing these while watching tv. Keeps my mind and hands busy.

cards are now moved

I've been making cards but I've moved them to my card blog. Art for the Creative Mind which is the same name as the Yahoo Group. In my profile you can just click and it will take you there. Enjoy

I've been knitting again

The brown one is easy and fun to do. This one is made for a friend. The white and purple one is made from Roving and it's made for a young lady at church who loves purple.

Project in progress

This is still a piece in the thinking stages. It will be a steampunk on canvas. Nothing is glued down yet. This will be the before and I will post the after shot when I get it together.
I'm also working on a Valentine's Day mini album. I like to work on several things at once. I never have time to get bored. Enjoy

Still knitting

Here is another knitted project. It's a snood. You can wear it as cowl scarf or pull it over your head to keep you nice and cozy. It's made of long fringe type yard in a chocolate brown.
